PNV and PSE reject proposals to set up an independent committee linked to the case of expired vaccines and hold them accountable
Jeltzales and socialists have urged the Department of Health to speed up the measures announced to "reduce the risk of errors."
The PNV and the PSE, taking advantage of their absolute majority in the Basque Parliament, have blocked the two main initiatives put forward by the opposition in relationtothe issue of expired vaccines: the proposal to form an independent rear and the demand for political responsibility on the part of the Department of Health.
One initiative has been put forward by the PP and the second by EH Bildu and Sintre. Both proposals called for accountability for the "structural and operational deficiencies" of the system. But jeltzales and socialists voted against and rejected the opposition's approaches.
At Monday's plenary session, Health Counselor Alberto Martínez explained and acknowledged that what happened was " a mistake that should never have happened "despite the fact that, according to him, the vaccinated people have had no health consequences. Martinez explained that the vaccines expired in the health centers themselves and that it was due to a human error "without the willof anyone. "
Rejected by the opposition's request, Parliament has adopted, without the support of the other groups, the only amendment tabled jointly by the PNV and the PSE calling on the Department of Health to'speed up' the measures announced by Osakidetza, 'minimise the risk of errors', as well as to establish a communication protocol for citizens to strengthen confidence and safety in the face of health incidents.
The case is under judicial review.
This Thursday, the Department of Health will send to the Public Prosecutor's Office all the information it has on expired vaccines, since the Basque Public Prosecutor's Office has already opened investigative proceedings.
In the context of this investigation, the Ertzaintza has requested directly from the Director-General of Osakidetza, Lore Bilbao, all the documentation available on the case by order of the Public Prosecutor's Office. The first request from the Public Prosecutor's Office appears to have received no response from Osakidetza and Martínez has linked the situation to a "registration problem" .
The Counsellor has stated that the Ertzaintza, in the exercise of its judicial police functions, sent a second request for information from the Public Prosecutor's Office in the investigation initiated following a complaint filed by the Association of the Patient Defender. Martinez has stated that "today" all the information requested will be forwarded to the Public Prosecutor's Office, both telematically and face-to-face, to ensure that it is received by the Public Prosecutor's Office.
